    I don't know what I wanna type haha

    Well, this is my first time writing here on my notebook, I think this is gonna help me out WITH  my writing skills. The truth is that I have no idea what I'm wanna WHAT I WANT TO type here. (OMIT Meanwhile) WHILE I'm typing I'm drinking coffee in AT my desk, you know... Usually I use to jot down USUALLY I JOT DOWN or in the past USUALLY I USED TO JOT DOWN all the words that I'm (OMIT gonna) learning, and i think It's harder to learn a language when you aren't living it, that's because a language is learning LEARNED better when you're living it, that's why I'm trying to do the all possible TO DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE to gather up a lot of knowledge.... i don't wanna WANT TO memorize the words, but i have no one to practice PRACTISE my English WITH where i live, but i'd like to have a friend to do it on this site, you know,,,

     

    In the last line "I have no one to practiSe my English with...".

    Practice is a noun, practise is a verb. Unless you are American in which case they are both practice! :-)

     

    It's very hip, fluid English. You can use wanna if you really wanna, but not in formal writing!

    Could someone proofread it for me please?

    Hello, everyone. This text is just a sketch of a bigger text I am writting WRITING. If you could help me with this part, I would really appreciate IT. OR I WOULD BE REALLY GRATEFUL

    The climaTE has been really strange lately. The issue of the Global warming is all over the News. Countries are getting hotter, and some people are even moving out of their native countries. However, as happens with quite a few theories - and "Global warming" is a theory -, there are those who don’t believe in Global warming at all. As far as they are concerned, (the OMIT) Global warming is nothing but a farce.
    Nevertheless, the world is changing, and it is a fact. Thus, so that we don’t fall behind, we shouldn’t just sit by. It’s time to wake up .
    The mudslides in Santa Catarina, Brazil, serve as an example. They are HAPPENING increasingly often and the politicians do nothing. (There, OMIT) for example, (OMIT the ) houses should neither be built on hillsides, nor on the top of the (ON THE TOPS OF) mountains. But, since the houses was WERE already put up, all (OMIT the ) available measures must be taken as quickly as possible to remove the people from hazardous areas. (OMIT The) security comes first. (safety is a better word than security here)

    Thank you

    No corrections! Perfect!  

    Describing a photo.

    In the photo we can see a man crossing a pool filled with water. There are big rubber cubes floating on the surface of the pool. They are tied to each other with ropes. It looks like it's a sort of competition. We can see the label with the number 032 on the man's T-shirt. At this very moment he is falling into the water. It was only the one last cube that he couldn't cope with.

    TV was considered to be the most important invention of the last 100 years? Better as question: Is tv the most....

    In the previous LAST century the invention of TV involved a lot of changes in our lives.
    It was a big step (forward TOWARDS) the transformation of the world inTO a global village.
    Thanks to this new communications medium people had the possibility of watchING through this magical window the way other people live, even if they are WERE very far AWAY.
    Common Ordinary people could be reached very easily in order to spread any kind of information.
    Italy for example is a set of very different cultures and languages. After this invention people were pushed to speak less in dialect and more in formal Italian. In some little field of the life In many fields/areas of life they started to have a common cultural identity. Even, thanks to TV, they started to celebrate the feast of Halloween, only because they were used to seeING it on IN American movies.
    Before (OMIT of) that we could just care about things that were happening close to the place where we lived, afterWARDS we started to be bombed from (bombarded with) news of all the world. (from all over the world)
    But I think that there is another invention that like the TV and more than that changed our life: internet. (But I think there is another invemtion, similar to television, that has changed our life even more: the internet)
    It was born in the military field to allow soldiers to communicate easier, but they found out that this net could be potentially exploited in unlimited ways.
    Unlike the TV, that could be used from people only passively, that is only a few people who work on TV could choose what to show, THE internet is used (from users OMIT) actively. Everyone can share any information almost without any filter.
    Furthermore through THE internet you can call, watch TV, listen to the radio, read A newspaper and much more then THAN this: you can go shopping, meet people, find a job and any specific information you need. It's a platform were WHERE men have been building a new parallel and virtual world that is influencing more and more our real life for better or for worse, it depends on how we use it.

     

    Molto bene, auguri! Marshal McLuhan said tv had turned the world into a global village, but Jonathan Miller (not me, qualcuno altro) said this was not so because in a viklage people can talk back. JM would agree the internet has mede the world a global village.

    Lee surrenders!

    One hundred AND fifty years ago the U.S. Civil War ended. Continuation would HAVE HAD or HAVE LED TO disastrous consequences. Confederate General Robert E. Lee met with Union General Ulysses Grant.
    Grant was A gentlemen. He said to Lee that they had met in the war with Mexico. However Lee said that he didn't remember THIS (meeting) or HIM at all. Lee lied. If he had been innocent (?honest) he could have said "Yes, it was hard glorius times!". (They were hard, glorious times / It was a hard, glorious time.)

    1st november

    I work in a clothes shop. The day started with good music AT work in the morning. I finished work, (THEN) I WENT to church. Today was a sunny day, I went to visit a friend who works in the mall.

    She works ON or AT an ice cream stand.  I ordered a hot chocolate and a waffle with two scoops of ice cream.
    We were talking; we had plans to celebrate the new year and we talked about our next holiday.
    I stayed home in the afternoon, AND WATCHED (where I have been watching) some movies.
